<< <i>Ok...You CAN tell which reverse you have and not even pry out a coin. The packaging is completly different:

Can anyone confirm this post?? Can you really tell if you have a 2008 with the 2007 reverse simply by looking at the box?? If this is true it will save a lot of sore fingers.

if this is fact, then i'd say variety 100% rather than error, which i called it yesaterday.
<< <i>What is not rare? The '07 reverse on '08? If so, what are you basing that on? A few posters who said they got some?
Check the Rachel reports on PCGS populations given earlier in this thread. The population numbers are only going to go up on '07 reverse on '08. My prediction is that we will see these population numbers will go up at a staggering rate and well-establish the non-rarity of this issue.
Place an order and don't get any? That's not rarity. Place an order and get high percentage with the '07 reverse? News flash.That's not rarity either.
Obvious to me,it's about time for another "Rachel Ratio" calculation. >>
The populations will go up, BUT,
The amount on Ebay has been pretty static. If 47,000 are out there, why is there only a little over 100 auctions ??
I think the initial 'flood' was pretty minor. We'll have another 'flood' when the 'late' graders get there coins back.
But, if this is it, then we have a winner.
As for the boxes, mine don't look like that, so that is NOT an indicator.
I would not open a first strike eligible box. If you have no 2007 reverses, then you'll lose out on your original intent of FS. Get them graded, then it's a win/win situation for you.
1 had a hair stuck between the coin and holder so I assume it was one that was returned and sent out again? Then again, maybe not as the box looked unmolested.
(2) 50 count boxes and (1) 25 count arrived today..........nada...zip.....kaput.....nogo.....zilch.....zeeeero......the big 0.......niet.......nothing.....its ok though
I scored 25 of the good ones a couple days ago.........life is good.....08/07 ASE.......smoothies........kingfishing....its all good folks..
<< <i>It may not be win/win if you have a box of 69 reverse of 08 >>
especially since the FS designation label is $10.00 extra.. per coin.. hey.. go all-out and pay $110.00 extra per coin for one-day turnaround plus FS labels.. and then get back a pile of 69s.. whee!..

Not to be a wiseass, but why do so many here care about what the Mint does or the games they play. I didn't know that they were accountable to the collector/speculator/flipper.
Not sure if it's been noted earlier, but it seems that the smaller orders (5 & 10s) are getting a larger percentage of '07 rev.
Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set: 1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S. Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

that reminds me of an old Dragnet where Joe Friday is in a battle of wits with some jerk suspected of some crime and the guy says to him "Listen, cop, I pay your salary!".. and Friday says "and now i'm gonna earn it.. get up against the wall and spread'em!"..
of course they're accountable.. the Mint is the gubmint.. WE own the Mint.. they work for US.. our tax DollErs pay their salaries.. their buildings, their pencil sharpeners, their toilet paper.. if you stop and think about it, every collector coin we buy from them we're paying for twice.. first time for the raw materials and machinery and labor to make it, second time when we buy the finished product.. so they damn well better be accountable to us.. corporations have to answer to their shareholders.. gubmint employees from the lowliest guy driving a street sweeper, to a city worker digging ditches.. to the Director of the Mint.. to whoever's living in the White House have to answer to us.. whether we collect or speculate or flip or all three (which i do, and i know you do too).. it's none of their business.. anyway.. i was just musing.. despite their marketing games, i honestly don't think they'd deliberatly offer an error coin as a limited Edition at an inflated price.. but at the same time i also wouldn't say it's 100% impossible..

You only pay the final price for the coin. Everything else that goes into it is merely being used to determine that final price.

Have a good one!!!

Seems a bit early for the sweet spot but not sure. Check earlier posts on this thread and see if anyone else reported on that date.
1 of 10 had the 07 reverse.
1 had a hair stuck between the coin and holder so I assume it was one that was returned and sent out again? Then again, maybe not as the box looked unmolested.
Just reporting in the results!
Send them in and let them get their labels: 2008-W FS or 2008-W with 2007 reverse FS
To me, that's a win / win
